I repost this previous article about SHAG Haunted Mansion 40th Anniversary artwork and collectibles as tomorrow Sunday 9th of August is the "D" day at Disneyland! From 10 am to 1pm this sunday, SHAG will be at Main Street Cinema to sign the items previouly purchased at the Disneyana Shop. If you don't live in L.A and are interested by some of the items below, i remind you that you very probably can order them through the Disneyland mail order service.

A bit more about this even from the official release: "Artist SHAG will be on hand for a special meet & greet and signing opportunity as we celebrate the release of his "Haunted Mansion" inspired artwork created in commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland® park. Represented in the artwork are some of the attraction's most beloved scenes, including the Stretching Portraits, the Ballroom, the Seance Room, the Attic, Graveyard, among others. This unique collection is a must have for any SHAG and Haunted Mansion enthusiast."

And now the previous article with a best-of pictures of the items.

SHAG, the trendy artist famous for his Adventureland and Tiki Room inspired artwork did new artwork for the Haunted Mansion 40th Anniversary celebration and i think as you will see below that he did a brilliant job.

Also about this Haunted Mansion 40th anniversary, the Disney Summer Pin Festival 2009 - Haunted Mansion O'Pin House is ending August 9 and here is some nice artwork about it.

MORE Haunted Mansion 40th anniversary collectibles are coming soon, this time designed by Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily and many others, and you can see most of them in this Disney and more articles here:

Lot of people there for the event yesterday. It took about two hours from getting in line to getting things signed. It seems there's some left of most of the stuff. They ran out of ears, but said they would get more in later this week possibly. But, they are limited to 999 pairs and really were one of the coolest things there, along with the Aloha shirt. There may not be any Urn / cookie jars left. They were limited to 400. There was some confusion early on as to how many items people could buy. When Hastin went throgh they said each person could only buy two items total. However, soon after, they wisely (for me) decided that that meant two of each item. So Hastin got screwed but I got most of what I wanted. A few pics.

Well, it was Disney's first time putting on a merchandise event, so it's no wonder there was a little confusion.
